A Visit to Theo’s Chocolate Factory!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

 

True to being the DEDICATED EMPLOYEE that I am to provisions… I traveled ALL the way to Seattle, WA and visited Theo Chocolate Factory to get a tour of their chocolate factory.

(It’s a tough job, I know).

 

 

Located in the lovely city of Seattle… Theo Chocolate tours are offered for the very reasonable price of $6 per person. I went in to see exactly how one of provisions best selling chocolates were made and to learn more about the process of chocolate making. After all, I consume enough of the good stuff- I should know what goes into creating my satisfying lover… CHOCOLATE!

 

 

The picture above basically explains my feelings towards chocolate….

 

 

 

 

These are cacao beans where chocolate come from. Aren’t they gorgeous?! Chocolate grows on trees, folks!


I learned SOOOO much from the tour provided by Theo at their factory from a very personable, witty, entertaining tour guide. She did a great job keeping my family entranced about what goes into making a bean-to-bar chocolate bar, which apparently is not the way all chocolate is made.

 

Theo uses green energy sources to power their factories!

 

 

 

 

 

(Side Note: My mother insists that I note that she is usually much more beautiful than this picture portrays her to be- with a HAIRNET on. Here, she is smelling cocao beans).


ACCORDING TO THEO’S WEBSITE: The meaning of Bean-to-Bar
“Theo’s small batch chocolate production is truly an art form. We take great time and care to steward our cocoa beans through the entire manufacturing process, add only the finest, sustainably produced ingredients, and are proud to offer chocolate we can guarantee is equal parts ethical and delicious!”

NEW FLAVORS OF THEO CHOCOLATE ARE IN STOCK AT PROVISIONS!

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Want your taste buds to experience unique flavors of chocolate? Come to provisions…



BREAD & CHOCOLATE Bar is just one of the many unique Theo Chocolate Bars we carry. Theo calls this bar one of their “Fantasy Flavors.” Other Fantasy Flavor’s made by Theo that provisions carries are FIG AND FENNEL and HAZELNUT CRUNCH.


And quite frankly, who wouldn’t want to try these Fantasy Flavors?? The BREAD AND CHOCOLATE is described as “an innovative twist on a traditional pairing, featuring dark chocolate with buttery, toasted artisan breadcrumbs and the perfect amount of salt.” My response… “Uhhh, YUM!”



Even their “classic collection” of flavors are exciting! Chile, Mint, and Cherry Almond, OH MY! Many of these chocolate bars are vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and soy free while still maintaining an AMAZING TASTE!
